Armstrong v. Davis
Opinion
Lead Opinion
MEMORANDUM *
Defendants, officials responsible for the operation of California’s state prisons through the California Department of Corrections (CDC), a division of the California Youth and Adult Correction Authority, appeal a portion of a district court order requiring them to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and § 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. We affirm.
This is the third appeal arising from an injunction correcting the CDC’s discriminatory practices affecting Plaintiffs-Appellees, a class of disabled inmates and parolees. In the first appeal we affirmed the district court’s determination that the ADA and the RA apply to the plaintiff class. Armstrong v. Wilson, 124 F.3d 1019 (9th Cir.1997).
The second appeal involved details of the district court’s Remedial Plan. We remanded to the district court for it to correct its error in ordering the CDC to *697 comply with aspects of the parties’ plan that had been negotiated to mutual satisfaction but which lacked the threshold findings and standards required under the Prison Litigation Reform Act (PLRA). Armstrong v. Davis, No. 99-15152, 2000 U.S.App. LEXIS 6821, 2000 WL 369622 (9th Cir. Apr. 11, 2000)…
